Point of sale requirements should be instituted to disclose code deficiencies but not require correction. 7. Loans and grants and other programs should be provided to upgrade housing. 8. Residents need to clean up their properties. Land Use 1. When the opportunity arises Towns Edge Terrace should be redeveloped as industrial. 2. There should be no residential fronting County Highway 10. 3. The theater property should have a higher fence and/or a landscaped berm with conifers. 4. Residential developers should keep as many trees as possible when developing new or redeveloping old housing. 5. R-2 uses acceptable along County Road H2 at Long Lake Road but not for properties away from H2. 6. Commercial developments should blend in with the community instead of providing blank brick walls towards community. Landscaped berms and a more residential design and feel should be provided. 7. Harstad property on the Long Lake Road wetland should not be developed. The type and number of homes which could be developed can not be determined until the extent of the wetland is determined. Drainage problems could occur along Louisa, Clearview, and Ridge Lane if the property is developed. Increased traffic would cause safety concerns. 8. Harstad property should remain zoned R-1. 9.
